AMD GAMING CPU?

Go to solution Solved by TheSLSAMG,

Is there much difference between a 8320 and 8530? I would buy one of the two, but if the extra £40 worth it? It looks like its only 0.2ghz difference.

There is almost no real noticeable difference, and you can use the saved 40 pounds to buy a Hyper 212 EVO and overclock it to 4.2GHz.

try getting your hands on a 6300, 8320, or 8350.

Yeah it most likely will, if I were going AMD for a gaming build I'd go FX 6300 or up.

OMG, there is not one answer to this question. 

 

it depends on the game. Often, games that have a lot a physics are much more cpu intensive.

 

If you're are playing BF4 then i think so, bioshock- i'd doubt it. 

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”    -Henry Ford

 

Please do BOINC. no matter how small a contribution it can make a difference.

I already have one of these. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0076NTAB4/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 do you think this would cope?

It will be perfectly fine for overclocking.

binned?

It is of a higher quality, meaning it requires less voltage to reach the same clock speed.

Yes it can, if they game only uses 1 or 2 cores.
